Exam Title: IBM Certified Analyst - Security QRadar SIEM V7.5

Last update: Nov 27 ,2025
Question 1

Which parameters are used to calculate the magnitude rating of an offense?

  • A. Relevance, credibility, time
  • B. Severity, relevance, credibility
  • C. Relevance, urgency, credibility
  • D. Severity, impact, urgency
Answer:

B


Explanation:
The magnitude rating of an offense in IBM Security QRadar SIEM V7.5 is calculated based on three
key parameters: severity, relevance, and credibility. Severity indicates the level of threat, relevance
determines the offense's impact on the network, and credibility reflects the integrity of the offense
as determined by the credibility rating configured in the log source. This combination of factors helps
prioritize offenses and guide analysts on which ones to investigate first​​.

Question 3

The Use Case Manager app has an option to see MITRE heat map.
Which two (2) factors are responsible for the different colors in MITRE heat map?

  • A. Number of offenses generated
  • B. Number of events associated to offense
  • C. Number of rules mapped
  • D. Level of mapping confidence
  • E. Number of log sources associated
Answer:

C, D


Explanation:
The MITRE heat map in the Use Case Manager app within QRadar uses several factors to determine
the colors displayed, among which the number of rules mapped to MITRE ATT&CK tactics and
techniques and the level of mapping confidence are crucial. These factors help visualize the coverage
and reliability of rule mappings against the comprehensive MITRE ATT&CK framework, aiding in the
identification of potential gaps or areas for improvement in threat detection capabilities​​.

Question 4

In QRadar. what do event rules test against?

  • A. The parameters of an offense to trigger more responses
  • B. Incoming log source data that is processed in real time by the QRadar Event Processor
  • C. Incoming flow data that is processed by the QRadar Flow Processor
  • D. Event and flow data
Answer:

B


Explanation:
Event rules in QRadar test against incoming log source data processed in real time by the QRadar
Event Processor. This real-time processing enables QRadar to analyze and respond to security events
as they occur, enhancing the system's ability to detect and mitigate threats promptly​​.

Question 5

What two (2) guidelines should you follow when you define your network hierarchy?

  • A. Do not configure a network group with more than 15 objects.
  • B. Organize your systems and networks by role or similar traffic patterns.
  • C. Use the autoupdates feature to automatically populate the network hierarchy.
  • D. Import scan results into QRadar.
  • E. Use flow data to build the asset database.
Answer:

B, E


Explanation:
When defining the network hierarchy in QRadar, it is recommended to organize systems and
networks by role or similar traffic patterns to differentiate network behavior effectively. Additionally,
it is advised not to configure a network group with more than 15 objects to avoid difficulties in
viewing detailed information for each object and to ensure efficient management of network groups​​.

Question 6

Create a list that stores Username as the first key. Source IP as the second key with an assigned cidr
data type, and Source Port as the value.
The example above refers to what kind of reference data collections?

  • A. Reference map of sets
  • B. Reference store
  • C. Reference table
  • D. Reference map
Answer:

C


Explanation:
The example provided refers to a "Reference table," which is a type of reference data collection in
QRadar that can store complex structured data. A reference table allows for multiple keys and values,
supporting the storage of data like Usernames, Source IPs with a specific data type (e.g., cidr for IP
addresses), and Source Ports as values​​.

Question 7

What type of custom property should be used when an analyst wants to combine extraction-based
URLs, virus names, and secondary user names into a single property?

  • A. AOL-based property
  • B. Absolution-based property
  • C. Extraction-based property
  • D. Calculation-based property
Answer:

A


Explanation:
When an analyst wants to combine multiple extraction and calculation-based properties into a single
property, such as URLs, virus names, and secondary user names, an AQL-based property should be
used. AQL (Ariel Query Language)-based properties allow for the aggregation of diverse data types
into a unified custom property, facilitating more flexible and comprehensive data analysis within
QRadar​​.

Question 8

What happens when you select "False Positive" from the right-click menu in the Log Activity tab?

  • A. You can tune out events that are known to be false positives.
  • B. You can investigate an IP address or a user name.
  • C. Items are filtered that match or do not match the selection.
  • D. The selected event is filtered based on the selected parameter in the event.
Answer:

A


Explanation:
Selecting "False Positive" from the right-click menu in the Log Activity tab opens a window that
enables users to tune out events that are known to be false positives, preventing them from
generating offenses. This feature is crucial for minimizing noise and focusing on genuine threats,
thereby enhancing the efficiency of threat detection and response processes within QRadar​​.

Question 9

Which statement regarding saved event search criteria is true?

  • A. Saved search criteria expires
  • B. Saved search criteria does not expire
  • C. Saved search criteria cannot be reused
  • D. You cannot define the name of the saved search criteria
Answer:

B


Explanation:
In QRadar, when you save search criteria, especially on the Offenses tab, the configured search
criteria are retained for future use and do not expire. This permanence ensures that users can quickly
access and reuse their preferred search configurations, thereby streamlining the process of
monitoring and investigating offenses over time​​.

Question 10

Which two (2) aggregation types ate available for the pie chart in the Pulse app?

  • A. Last
  • B. Total
  • C. Average
  • D. First
  • E. Middle
Answer:

B, C


Explanation:
For pie charts in the Pulse app of QRadar, the available aggregation types include "Total" and
"Average." These aggregation types allow for the representation of data in a manner that
summarizes the total sum of the data points or their average value, respectively, providing insightful
and concise visualizations of the data within the Pulse app dashboards. This information is implied
from the general capabilities of dashboard items in QRadar, as detailed in the provided
documentation, which typically includes such aggregation options for data visualization​​.
